Chapter 3634: My Friend Needs You to Be Fair?

The Second Elder’s expression, which had finally stabilized, almost froze again. “Young Master Ye, watch your words.”

“Do you think I’m giving you face?” Ye Wangchuan ignored him and said directly, “She participated in the treasure hunt for you, saved your face, almost got injured for you, and risked her life for you…”

The Second Elder frowned. “What are you trying to say?”

Ye Wangchuan lowered his hand and grabbed the girl’s uninjured hand. He forcefully pushed her fingers apart and intertwined them with his.

He held her hand firmly, then raised his head and continued in a slow tone, “You still think that she needs an explanation from you to get a fair result. Haven’t I given you too much face? Otherwise, why would you be so spoiled that you’re lawless and think you’re something? The person in my heart still has to beg you for a fair explanation!”

The Second Elder’s heart trembled for a second. He subconsciously looked at Qiao Nian as if hoping that Qiao Nian would persuade Ye Wangchuan not to do anything stupid.

Qiao Nian’s gaze had been on the man all this time. She only now realized the Second Elder was looking at her.

She was stunned for a second before realizing what the other party was thinking. She couldn’t help but laugh.

She laughed impolitely and unrestrainedly. After a few seconds, she suddenly retracted her smile, licked her lips, and tugged at the corners of her mouth, exuding a devilish charm not to be trifled with. She bluntly said to the Second Elder, who was still hoping for her help, “I’ve never cared about the Ji family’s life and death. Your interests have nothing to do with me! I only care about one or two people, but if you think you can rely on this to restrain me, that’s too laughable.

“I’ll make it clear to them. It’s best if they can understand. If they can’t, that only means they’re not worth my care.”

Qiao Nian said firmly, “I’m definitely going after the Chamber of Commerce Alliance!”

She turned to the Second Elder again, her eyes revealing a bone-chilling coldness. “As for you guys… you let me understand one thing.”

Silence.

The Second Elder looked at the thin lips opening and closing arrogantly. “… A dog that never has enough to eat should be woken up with a big stick.”

The Second Elder’s face turned ashen and red from Qiao Nian’s scolding. He pinched his palm and could not recover for a long time, but he did not dare to talk back.

Before coming, he had sworn that he could deal with Qiao Nian and persuade her not to pursue the matter.

But now, Qiao Nian’s reaction undoubtedly gave him a loud slap, telling him it was useless to use moral kidnapping to restrain her.

Just as she said, she did not care about the Ji family’s life or death.

However, she had been risking her life for the Ji family these past few days. She took many risks and even cut ties with the First Research Institute… Why did she not care about the family’s interests now?

The Second Elder complained incessantly in his heart. At this point, he had no choice but to regret it. He could only meet the girl’s gaze and remind her hesitantly, “Qiao Nian, you still have the blood of the old patriarch in you.”

It meant that she was still a member of the Ji family.

“Oh,” the girl replied. Her expression was casual and serious. “Then tell him to get up from the grave and perform blood-letting on me. If he asks me for it himself, I’ll return it to him.”

Ye Wangchuan glanced at her. The corners of his lips curled up as he pinched their clasped hands.
